      I think it’s uncontroversial to say that porn is bad for children, and I would say that social media is bad for children as well. I think as one matures and becomes an adult both become less bad, less fraught, but the difference between the two of Is that one with one of them you sometimes want to be anonymous, and the other one you almost always want to be anonymous.

      I mean I’m against requiring affirmative identity verification online anyway, even as a solution to keeping children away from things that are unhealthy for them. You can’t sacrifice the freedom of adults on the altar of protecting children.
